The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
During the term: continuous formative assessment.
In January: four-hour written summative exam (German-into-French translation project), which will be graded by a team of lecturers.
For the January exam, students draw, for each of their C languages, one of the two specialized translation fields chosen at the start of the academic year among economic translation, legal translation and scientific and technical translation. Students cannot be tested on the same field in their two C languages.
Compulsory workshops in the computer lab
This course sets out to simulate the realistic conditions of a translation project. Students will have to tackle the various steps of an German-into-French translation project with professionalism, from order to delivery (i.e. administrative tasks, documentary and terminological research, translation, revision). Students will be asked to translate one or several texts dealing with the two specialized translation fields selected at the start of the academic year, among economic translation, legal translation and scientific/technical translation. Students can mix fields as they wish in their two C languages. The different tasks will be carried out in the computer lab, meeting specific deadlines and relying on various tools.
